We often encourage each other to "bloom where you're planted." I like the symbolism, but realized that RevGals and Pals hail from all over the world! What blooms in Maryland may be far different than the flowers in your part of the world.

So, to celebrate our diversity, show us five plants that bloom around your home or neighborhood. I'm looking forward to seeing the wide variety of beauty we have among us! [from RevGalDeb today's host]

"Let the heavens rejoice; let the earth be glad;...let the fields exult and all that is in them.Then all the trees in the forest will sing for joy!"

Blooming Beauties !

A lovely visually oriented meme I'm happy pursuing.

Leaves are greening here and seem all the better for last weekend's

moisture despite its arrival via high winds and snow!

This next floral. Prairie Lilies, has actually garnered its own Lily Festival,

which reminds me of Matthew 6.28-30~

“If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving. People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions...You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met."

Quote of Note ...

`The first service that one owes to others in the fellowship consists in listening to them. Just as love to God begins with listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them. It is God's love for us that He not only gives us His Word but also lends His ear. So it is His work that we do for our brother when we learn to listen to him. Christians, especially ministers, so often think they must always contribute when they are in the company of others, that this is the one service they have to render. They forget that listening can be a greater service than speaking.'
